Reliving scenes from your life after bodily death

[Bluto]

In the spirit of my other recent thread where I wonder about meeting anyone significant from your life after bodily death, I also wonder about something else, and welcome others' thoughts, astral or NDE experiences, opinions, and insights.

I do wonder if, after bodily death, we can revisit scenes from this physical life for no other reason than pure sentiment and the joy of doing so. For example, I often think back to certain moments from my early childhood in the 1980s, and remember certain things which though routine and banal at the time, evoke deep sentiment now when I remember. Things such as riding with my dad in his truck in school holidays, the smell of horse-radish plants along the track on the way home from school, or simply riding my bike along the street. I also think back to particular moments from my 20s and 30s which I'd love to relive or at least revisit as an onlooker. Just for the joy of it, much in the same way that I currently physically revisit actual significant places I've not been to for 30 years.

I'm aware of the concept and purpose of the life-review, but I'm talking about something a little different. I'm wondering if you can, at will, choose to either relive a moment, or at least view it as if watching over the scene as third person, purely for the pleasure of it. I can't imagine life-after-life is all about lesson learning, spiritual work, and planning one's next incarnation. Like the physical life, I imagine the afterlife reflects physical life, and there is also downtime, travel, and leisure of a sort.

I feel it could be very possible due to akashic record access, which I firmly believe in.

Hi , I like your interest in the Afterlife.
Sometimes I think, I have read everything there is on the Afterlife, lol!!
For decades.

My take: the wonders on the Other Side are so many and you/we can create anything we want ...you want a path
with particular smells, a house that is like your own on earth, your doggy at your side...there will be and can be all
your little heart desires, ie, all the warmth and sentiment plus more you had on earth.

I'm not making this up cuz I 'want' to or need to be believe it...it seems to be consistent in ALL my readings.

This does seem to be the case. Gordon Phinn suggests that at certain levels the afterlife is all one big holiday where people can pursue whatever leisure activities they want. And others such as Borgia state that there is no shortage of entertainments, concerts, plays etc for those who enjoy these things.

But sooner or later people want something more than just leisure. Maybe they then engage with some form of higher learning or some form of service. By all accounts it is always our choice.

I think that it is Benson (through Borgia) who says that although much of his time is spent in assisting those who have recently died, occasionally he feels the need for a change and so he does something different.

Regarding revisiting experiences in our Earthly lives for simple nostalgic joy, there seems no reason why such things would not be possible. But at the same time we may find that all such experiences seem less important in our new environment. They belong in the past, and no doubt there is plenty in the present to occupy us.

Peace

Yes, I believe we can revist scenes like you mentioned. Now by my own experiences, I suspect that it may not just be visit to the past, but an opportunity to change the past.

I thought about your ques, Bluto...I mean for a second...
If I was at Disney World or at a favorite Concert...
I would be so happy and filled with wonder or excitement...'revisit a scene from my past' ...
Not what would be crossing my mind.

I can only speak about my Experiences here Yes you can re visit places that you have been to.
As it is your soul that goes on some people urge to have a favourite food you can have the sense of it but it soon passes.
The spirit world is vast and so much to do you find something that you love doing.

Namaste
